Trump says every American can get a coronavirus vaccine by April, but health experts say that's not likely

President Donald Trump claimed Friday there will be enough coronavirus vaccines for every American by April — a claim that doesn't match any timeline given by the federal government's health agencies, private researchers, or even the companies making the vaccines.

The federal government's Operation Warp Speed program for developing a vaccine earlier this week made the same promise. But Trump went further. "By April every single American who wants to be vaccinated will have the ability to be vaccinated," Atlas said. Asked about that, Trump responded:"That's on the outer edge, we think we can beat that number very substantially."

Dr. Peter Hotez, a pediatrician, vaccine expert and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine, told CNN that Trump's promise is unrealistic.
